style of her gowns his mother is a lovely woman hut she is dictatorial she even wanted to piok out mjr wedding gown and my bridesmaids i thought over the matter and concluded that . did not want a mother-in-law of that stripe â€” state ment of miss mildred a ruehl her mother is a lovely woman how ever she excited mildred and most of the time the jirl was in tears i spen a year paying cour to mildred and when i used to leave her home at 11 o'clock in the evening 1 her mother told her that i left early because i probably had another girl i did not want a mother-in-law of that stripe â€” state ment made by philip t starck to his father too much near-motbcr-in-law is the cause of tt^j separation of two fond hearts belong ing io miss mildred a buehl of h.72 sher idan road and philip t starck of edge water whose father is a well-known piano manufacturer it appears that neither the bride-to-be nor the prospective bridegroom were satisfied with thejuotker-ln-lnw which they would possess through marriage and for this reason the big wedding which was to occur at st paul's evangelical church has been indefinitely postponed it will never occur according to the parents of the interested parties uuless differences which now appear to be unbridgable are patched up philip starck has started for europe he is going abroad on business but had in tended to take his bride with him the trouble which has arisen between the youugi couple changed all ot their plans and now j the younger set on the north side is won-j dering just what mildred ruehl and philip ! starck will do according to mr starck sr it is notj likely the marriage will ever occur hej bas oniy kind words far the young woman who was to have been his son's wife but he frankly states that the family trouble j between tlie two mothers caused the wed ding to be postponed indefinitely devoted lo his fiancee philip was devoted to mildred said mr starck last night he told me that for the last year he had cut out nearly all of his acquaintances in order to devote him self to mildred she is a lovely little girl and i would have bseen glad to welcome her into my family philip can make bis own choice of a wife just as i did and who ever he chooses will be made welcome philip wants to bear the brunt of this matter the engagement has been broken oft and he does not want the girl to suf fer in any way from it this sort of a thing does not hurt a man any but lt may hurt a girl the trouble ln the first place started over a trifling matter mrs ruehl began to throw doubts upon the loyalty and affection that philip had for mildred philip used to call upon mildred nearly every evening when he bid his adieus along about 11 o'clock mrs ruehl would tell mildred that philip had sdme other girl because he left so early in the evening this sort of thing kept up until philip could stand it no longer he is an inde pendent young man smart and energetic and he did not want to hear complaints all of ihe time he told me that for the past year mildred had been in tears most ot the time naturally this worried him and both of them were unhappy mothers clash over plans mildred is reported to have said that mrs starck interfered with the wedding arrangements she is quoted as saying that mrs starck wanted to pick out the bridesmaids and alno wanted to choose the wedding gown now my wife did not want to do anything of the sort when the wedding arrangements were first made it was decided that four bridesmaids and four groomsmen should act mrs ruehl wanted a big wedding and we were rather in favor of a quiet affair after the four bridesmaids had been se lected mrs ruehl wanted a young woman who lives in st paul to act as brides maid well that meant that all of the arrangements for the ceremony would have to be upset it meant that six bridesmaids would have to be selected haggling over these things led to a serious quarrel and now it looks as if both mildred and philip had rained tiieir happiness over a few little matters that could have been straightened out with little tr'ouble philip is a young man of twenty-seven with a good income i could not replace hiui ln my business for twenty thousand a year he bas great prospects in life and if i do say it myself he is a prize which any girl should think twice of before she let him slip away from ber to reunite vanderbilts j mrs o h p

states a constitutional amendment legalizing income tax in tended as lure to rebels la follette in bitter speech , assails republicans for ar rogance in ignoring appeals of western wool growers washington june o senator aldrieh is climbing down for fear of an income tax and the wrath to come the chairman of the fiuauce committee ls now on the point of incorporating in his tariff bill a 2 per cent tax on the net income of corporations including all the big trusts this is on the recommendation of president Taft who is not yet ready to commit himself to an in come tax and sees little chance of getting the inheritance tax approved even in con ference ' just behind the corporation tax plan is a proposition to submit to the respective states a constitutional amendment legalis ing an income tax it is the belief of those behind these moves that through them they will capture a sufficient number of progres sive republican votes to kill off the in come tax plan for the time being whether that end will be achieved re mains to be seen senators borah and cummins the leading republican advo cates of the income tax heard of the plan early to-dny and they have been busy evet since working to line up progressive re publicans against it it is perhaps sig nificant tt>at the vote which was to hays been taken on the income tax to-morrow has been postponed by mutual consent tax is taft's own plan neither side is sure of its forces tho fear of senator aldrieh is illustrated in his willingness to accept the corporation tax plan this plan by the way is president taft's own and is to be distinguished from the daniel or democratic plan in the re spect that the latter proposes to tax tha gross receipts of corporations whereas the Taft plan looks to a 2 per cent tax on net receipts only it is the plan that emanated from the white house several weeks ago as second on the list of the president's proposed revenue producing features it was announced in these dispatches last night following the president's con ference with aldrieh that this plan would now be taken up for serious considera tion the white house estimates that it will produce between jj'jo.ooo.ooo and annually it has engrossed most of the attention of the tariff builders to-day if one may judge from the reports that are in circulation aldrieh will have to fight hard to have it adopted borah cummins and their followers will have nothing to do with it both denied that they had made any canvass of the senate on this proposition to-day or that aldrieh had spoken to them about it they see in it as one of the senators expressed it a plan to substitute the corporation tax for the inheritance tax that is embraced in the payne bill and then squeeze both out in the conference democrats to favor scheme on the other hand the examiner corre spondent was informed by several demo cratic senators that failing to get any thing better they would vote for the cor poration tax plau the truth probably la that if aldrieh brings in the corporation tax plan as committee measure lio will be able to force it through as he is forcing through the schedules ot his tariff bill no one believes that the hhode island senator is euamored of the plan but si lent forces are hard at work in these crit ical stages of the tariff fight and it is lea sonable to expect that aldrieh would rather concede this tax than make conces sions tbat would let down the bars of his high protection the interests will be able to spare money to pay the tax from the excessive profits derived from protec tion the constitutional amendment idea came to the surface to-day in a new form this is the line of argument that is being perfected in the finance committee room within a decade the supreme court of the united states has declared an income tax unconstitutional even it such a law were passed now and the court should declare it constitutional the fact would so stultify the court that it would lose its reputation for dignity and consistency it would be convicted of wavering and would suffer a lowering ot its high tone and character that would be deplorable it might even so the argument goes give ammunition to

possess through marriage and for this reason the big wedding which was to occur at st paul's evangelical church has been indefinitely postponed it will never occur according to the parents of the interested parties uuless differences which now appear to be unbridgable are patched up philip starck has started for europe he is going abroad on business but had in tended to take his bride with him

between tlie two mothers caused the wed ding to be postponed indefinitely devoted lo his fiancee philip was devoted to mildred said mr starck last night he told me that for the last year he had cut out nearly all of his acquaintances in order to devote him self to mildred she is a lovely little girl and i would have bseen glad to welcome her into my family philip can make bis own choice of a wife just as i did and who ever he chooses will be made welcome philip wants to bear the brunt of this matter the engagement has been broken oft and he does not want the girl to suf fer in any way from it this sort of a thing does not hurt a man any but lt may hurt a girl the trouble ln the first place started over a trifling matter mrs ruehl began to throw doubts upon the loyalty and affection that philip had for mildred philip used to call upon mildred nearly every evening when he bid his adieus along about 11 o'clock mrs ruehl would tell mildred that philip had sdme other girl because he left so early in the evening this sort of thing kept up until philip could stand it no longer he is an inde pendent young man smart and energetic and he did not want to hear complaints all of ihe time he told me that for the past year mildred had been in tears most ot the time naturally this worried him and both of them were unhappy mothers clash over plans mildred is reported to have said that mrs starck interfered with the wedding arrangements she is quoted as saying that mrs starck wanted to pick out the bridesmaids and alno wanted to choose the wedding gown now my wife did not want to do anything of the sort when the wedding arrangements were first made it was decided that four bridesmaids and four groomsmen should act mrs ruehl wanted a big wedding and we were rather in favor of a quiet affair after the four bridesmaids had been se lected mrs ruehl wanted a young woman who lives in st paul to act as brides maid well that meant that all of the arrangements for the ceremony would have to be upset it meant that six bridesmaids would have to be selected haggling over these things led to a serious quarrel and now it looks as if both mildred and philip had rained tiieir happiness over a few little matters that could have been straightened out with little tr'ouble philip is a young man of twenty-seven with a good income i could not replace hiui ln my business for twenty

states a constitutional amendment legalizing income tax in tended as lure to rebels la follette in bitter speech , assails republicans for ar rogance in ignoring appeals of western wool growers washington june o senator aldrieh is climbing down for fear of an income tax and the wrath to come the chairman of the fiuauce committee ls now on the point of incorporating in his tariff bill a 2 per cent tax on the net income of corporations including all the big trusts this is on the recommendation of president Taft who is not yet ready to commit himself to an in come tax and sees little chance of getting the inheritance tax approved even in con ference ' just behind the corporation tax plan is a proposition to submit to the respective states a constitutional amendment legalis ing an income tax it is the belief of those behind these moves that through them they will capture a sufficient number of progres sive republican votes to kill off the in come tax plan for the time being whether that end will be achieved re mains to be seen senators borah and cummins the leading republican advo cates of the income tax heard of the plan early to-dny and they have been busy evet since working to line up progressive re publicans against it it is perhaps sig nificant tt>at the vote which was to hays been taken on the income tax to-morrow has been postponed by mutual consent tax is taft's own plan neither side is sure of its forces tho fear of senator aldrieh is illustrated in his willingness to accept the corporation tax plan this plan by the way is president taft's own and is to be distinguished from the daniel or democratic plan in the re spect that the latter proposes to tax tha gross receipts of corporations whereas the Taft plan looks to a 2 per cent tax on net receipts only it is the plan that emanated from the white house several weeks ago as second on the list of the president's proposed revenue producing features it was announced in these dispatches last night following the president's con ference with aldrieh that this plan would now be taken up for serious considera tion the white house estimates that it will produce between jj'jo.ooo.ooo and annually it has engrossed most of the attention of the tariff builders to-day if one may judge from the reports that are in circulation aldrieh will have to fight hard to have it adopted borah cummins and their followers will have nothing to do with it both denied that they had made any canvass of the senate on this proposition to-day or that aldrieh had spoken to them about it they see in it as one of the senators expressed it a plan to substitute the corporation tax for the inheritance tax that is embraced in the payne bill and then squeeze both out in the conference democrats to favor scheme on the other hand the examiner corre spondent was informed by several demo cratic senators that failing to get any thing better they would vote for the cor poration tax plau the truth probably la that if aldrieh brings in the corporation tax plan as committee measure lio will be able to force it through as he is forcing through the schedules ot his tariff bill no one believes that the hhode island senator is euamored of the plan but si lent forces are hard at work in these crit ical stages of the tariff fight and it is lea sonable to expect that aldrieh would rather concede this tax than make conces sions tbat would let down the bars of his high protection the interests will be able to spare money to pay the tax from the excessive profits derived from protec tion the constitutional amendment idea came to the surface to-day in a new form this is the line of argument that is being perfected in the finance committee room within a decade the supreme court of the united states has declared an income tax unconstitutional even it such a law were passed now and the court should declare it constitutional the fact would so stultify the court that it would lose its reputation for dignity and consistency it would be convicted of wavering and would suffer a lowering ot its high tone and character that would be deplorable it might even so the argument goes give ammunition to
